Discussion Points

• How can these materials best be used with adult
  learners in Utah? Locally? Distance? Hybrid?
• What are the advantages/disadvantages of using
  these materials in the above ways?
• How can programs count outcomes from students who
  use these materials independently or from a
  distance?
• If we use these materials to create a
  distance-delivered program, should it be
  centrally delivered to reduce costs and training
  needs or locally delivered to enhance local
  contact?
